Check out Ireland then.

I am considering a Mac.

Security pulls me up for my watercolour paints more often than anything else.

Really? I mean I travel with needlepoint these days but I have brought bamboo crochet hooks on planes.

Listen to Rachmaninov. Makes world better.

I cannot see when they lift, run, date to get married. 4 hours a day doesn’t cut it to commute, cook or exercise. And no one sane should marry into that lifestyle as they will basically be parenting and watching TV alone.

Irish Rail can now impose a 100€ fine for loud music in their trains. Maybe TfL should update their bylaws also.

I live in Brussels. I am definitely not likely to be the only person with two home bases.

But I do spend most of my time in the EU and I question whether this is enforceable within the EU. YouTube’s service is otherwise deteriorating and both search and recommendation are far worse than they used to be. Cancellation may become much more attractive.

The update doesn’t tell me why they are doing this. I imagine part of it is the UK’s online safety act, and part may be people trying to find cheaper prices by hopping across VPNs. Neither of which are technically my problem. Ireland is not their cheapest subscription service.

Honestly prefer it to the waiting area in St Pancras which is always packed, doesn’t have enough seating and the rubbish bins are often overflowing.

There will be more photos coming.
